Supply Chain Due Diligence Act
We see the German law on supply chain due diligence, which came into force in 2024, not only as a binding legal obligation, but also as an obvious minimum standard in terms of our responsibility towards employees, customers and suppliers. A comprehensive insight into our principles and standards is available in our Declaration of Principles.
